Communications and IT
solutions provider Verizon Business is expanding its single-source
capabilities for deploying customer premises equipment (CPE) and related
support services to aid large-business and government customers in building
and managing global networks.
Under a new multiyear global distribution agreement with Westcon Group,
Verizon Business will expand its global logistics reach and provide
multinational enterprises with just-in-time delivery of critical
communications equipment and services. Westcon Group, a leading specialty
distributor of networking, convergence, security and mobility equipment,
will also provide optional configuration and staging services for Verizon
Business customers.
“When we launched this initiative, we set out to meet the requirements of
our multinational customer base by providing a centrally managed, locally
delivered single-source model for equipment procurement,” said Nancy Gofus,
senior vice president – global business products, Verizon.
“The addition of Westcon Group to this initiative complements our global
logistics strategy and enables Verizon Business to further alleviate the
burdens customers often bear in purchasing equipment and services to support
their global networks,” she said.
Blair Crump, group president – worldwide sales, Verizon Business, said
globalisation is driving “our customers to embrace new business models, and
the same trend is driving Verizon Business to develop new and better ways to
serve our broad base of global customers”.
“The addition of Westcon Group to our broad vendor ecosystem supporting this
initiative will enable Verizon Business to provide enhanced global
networking options to its multinational customers and help them accelerate
the adoption of IP to transform their operations.”
